Now you do.  I definitely want it to be possible for people who I
don't already know to email me.  That's where I get most of my work.
I also get occasional mail from old high school friends and the like.

That doesn't mean that I want unlimited amount of mail from spammers,
but one of the big reasons that SMTP mail wiped out walled gardens
like MCI Mail is that it allows anyone to contact anyone else without
making complicated arrangements first.
